The Hex of Light
Long-form duo work by Jon Wesseltoft and Lasse Marhaug, ongoing since 2008 as an investigation into psycho-acoustics and the phenomenology of sustained sound. The Hex of Light, recorded in 2013, consists of two stringently close-knitted pieces built …
Artefact
First album under the Codespira1 alias by Stockholm-based composer Mattias Petersson, trained in electroacoustic composition at the Royal College of Music. The project began as a vehicle for one-take electronic performances built around SuperCollider…
Various Weights
First collaboration between Frans de Waard and Martijn Comes, deliberately built without an underlying concept. Each artist supplied the other with a pool of source sounds: de Waard sent Comes Korg MS20 and Koma Field FX recordings and field material…
Quelques Instants D'éternité
First part of a new Duplant trilogy, after the pessimistic Élégie du temps présent / Sombres Miroirs / Insondables Humeurs cycle. The music remains imbued with mysticism and deep melancholy but turns toward a more luminous, hopeful register. The orga…
Haarlemmerhout
Polack returns to the park in south Haarlem made famous by Nicolaas Beets's Romantic 1839 novel Camera Obscura, and uses it as the field for an exercise in urban escapism. Local recordings (pigs from the petting zoo, birds migrating north from Africa…
Paintings
Final work in a trilogy (Sketches, Drawings, Paintings) marking Philipp Bückle's return to music after closing his Teamforest project. Recorded in 2014 across Copenhagen and Dortmund, the album combines a visually organic sensibility with experimenta…
Worn Tape
Imanishi's first album for the label, presenting eleven miniatures built from small sounds drawn from his immediate environment: paper, objects, radio, field recording, microphone. The work is abstract in vocabulary but warm and slow in effect, a del…
It Deel I
First album in IT DEEL, a multi-year project by the Kleefstra Bros (Jan Kleefstra on poetry, Romke Kleefstra on guitar) with Popfabryk, addressing the ecological degradation of Frisian nature. Each volume is composed in residency at the Thomaskerk in…
It Deel II
Second volume in the IT DEEL project. The Kleefstra Bros invited Norwegian duo Streifenjunko (Eivind Lønning on trumpet/electronics, Espen Reinertsen on sax/electronics) into the Thomaskerk in Katlijk, composing between improv, jazz and sound art. St…
Smolders / Delaere / Nijs
Composition trio between Jos Smolders (electronics), Guido Nijs (saxophone) and painter Koen Delaere, whose abstract pigment surfaces serve as compositional model. Five tracks named after pigments (Aureolin, Barium, Diarylide, Bianco di Titanio, Indi…
Caveman
Caveman is a document of Stamou's live practice: two complete extracts of solo improvised performances using his 'portable electroacoustic studio'. The setup combines acoustic instruments (prepared zither, reeds, recorders, objects) with handmade ele…
Equal Weights
Companion to Various Weights, pursued through an inverted method. De Waard prepares two empty acoustic containers of predefined length with his own sonic brushstrokes, then sends them to Comes, who completes the 'paintings' by filling in the blanks -…
A Concrete Pasture
Follow-up to Haarlemmerhout, pushing Polack's hyper-local Haarlem practice out into the wider world. Four long pieces are built from material gathered across continents - the temple of the reclining Buddha (Wat Pho, Bangkok), Schiermonnikoog in the D…
Inheritance
First collaboration between the brothers Sietse and Tjeerd van Erve - Orphax (drone and electroacoustic) and PONI, Person Of No Importance (dark lo-fi guitar songs). Inheritance is a near-translation of the family name van Erve, and the album returns…
En De Stilstaande Tijd
Continuation of the same piano source material used on the Piano Music 7-inch, here developed into a long-form work. Orphax takes a postcard he bought in a Spanish village in 2001, while studying geology, as imaginative axis: the tranquillity of smal…
Crystalline Tragedies / The Procession - Distant Motionless Shore
An unusual collective release: Comes and Aldinucci composed their two pieces in complete isolation, exchanging neither studio time nor materials, but both worked from the same Nietzschean opposition - the moral codex of the Christian church against t…
Keiji Haino + Musqis
'This is a powerful live recording without any arrangement by Japanese independent music icon Keiji Haino, who has been active in avant-garde activities straddling rock and free music in the underground realm since the 1970s, and Musqis, a performanc…

Phillo Jazz
Phillo Jazz winks at improvisational traditions Akita has always both honored and subverted. Jazz's spontaneity finds its noise equivalent - though the relationship is more conceptual than sonic. Where jazz improvisation operates within harmonic fram…
Of Ghosts And Buildings
Long-running Scottish act Cindytalk have transformed numerous times throughout their existence, going from industrial post-punk to electronic noise with an ever-shifting lineup. Now, the group will be compiling their recent recordings in Of Ghosts An…
